Dave Burd (AKA Lil Dicky) Chops It Up With Sway In The Morning

5 years ago view-show 21,087

Dave airs on FXX & Hulu Wednesdays at 10p.

Dave Burd, aka Lil Dicky, is a prime microcosm of a DIY work ethic. From YouTube star to XXL Freshman, LD has transcended any and all expectations to become an astute lyricist with a comedic flair. But none of this has been an accident; Burd has been plotting his rise since he quit his 9-to-5 to pursue music. Now, the bushy-haired kid from Philadelphia has made the next move in his entertainment career: the auteur behind Dave, the new FXX comedy.

Depicting a fictionalized version of himself and his rap career, Dave documents Lil Dicky’s unlikely ascent through the hip-hop ranks. From rubbing shoulders with YG to getting upstaged by Macklemore, Dave is as self-deprecating as it is funny, suggesting that hip-hop might just be the launching pad for Burd’s entertainment career.

Providing more background on the show and his feelings about it, LD recently stopped by Sway In The Morning to chop it up with the legendary radio host and crew. 

Check out the Dave Burd x Sway interview below:

Make no mistake, Tinashe is a burgeoning star in today's music industry. But she's also a burgeoning star with a wide range of talents. Don't believe me? Well, on top of being one of the best (and dare I say underrated) contemporary R&B singer-songwriters, she can also hold her own when it comes to this rap thing, too. Don't believe me? Tinashe recently stopped by Sway in the Morning to discuss her tour with Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry in Latin America, but was eventually put on the spot by Sway himself to deliver a freestyle. Tinashe, being a woman of her word, did indeed kick a freestyle -- albeit with a hint of singing thrown in -- with a quality outcome. Don't believe me? Hit the play button after the jump.
